Kootenay Savings KS} Where You Belong, ebels steal.a point By ED MILLS Staff Writer If a single game could sum up the en tire season for the Rossland Warriors, it was played last night at the Com munity Complex The Warriors, who have four out of a possible 64 points this season in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, let another one_slip away against to the Castlegar Rebels — who took it and ran. Up 5-1 after one period and 6-3 with under three minutes remaining, the Warriors gave a perfect demonstration of what you do when you're a last placé-hockey club trying to protect a lead First, you let David Vecchio’ score his second goal of the night with 2:43 remaining, just to give the fans a taste of what’stocome. Then you cough up another to Rebels’ defenceman Kevan Rilcof with 1:42 left Amt ke ‘one thinking you’ re still going’ until the last two seconds when you fool everybody in the building and give up the tying goal to Dwayne Dergousoff. ON THE MOVE . . . Castlegar Rebels’ forward makes a rush during Bingo UgEmtimRzasland Warriors in junior hockey at the Community Complex last night. The game ended in a 6-6 ti overt CosNews photo by Ed Mil a ing in. to overtime and nobody.is wonderie McLellan, who has suffered through a dismal year with a talented ‘but im. mature hockey club, couldn’t really come to grips with what his troops did this time. “Geez, two seconds left. . .,"" he muttered in_the corridor outside the Warriors’ dressing room -after_the game On a team that can’t win for losing, the coach has to laugh or he'll cry. So it was with a puzzled smile that McLellan added: ‘‘Let’s face it, we're just not used to winning.” The Warriors did’get one break — they didn’t lose itein overtime and so got a point for the effort The Rebels, on the other hand, were lucky no cops were in the building or the team would have been arrested for grand-theft hockey game, A doctor, not a cop, was what co- coach Ed Cooper most needed after the game. ‘‘Whoa, those late comebacks are tough on the heart boy,"’ he said. Ci =e his heart may have hurt, Cooper's head was in the right place which was evidenced when he ordered referee Dave Fujibayashi to. measure the curve on a Rossland’s players stick with 45 seconds left in the third. To no one’s surprise, the stick was illegal, Rossland got a penalty and the Rebels scored on the ensuing power- play to tie the game. And if the comeback wasn’t enough to send Cooper and the rest of the fans (about 200) into palpitations, the over- time did the trick Castlegar dominated the extra period except for three instances when glaring errors sent Warriors on clear- cut breakaways. Rebels goaltender Rick Edwards was sparkling on two. The third, by’Castlegar native David Green, who raced in alone oni the left hand side with under two minutes left, ended with the shot grazing the crossbar but staying out. Edwards, and former Rebel Stan Makortoff, who was between the pipes for Rossland, were busy and sharp Makortoff saw the most rubber, stop- ping 67 shots, including 16 in overtime and 21 inthe second period Matt Kolle started for the Rebels but was pulled at the midway point of the first after surrendering Rossland’s third goal. The tie moves the Rebels into sole; possession of the fourth and final playoff spot in the West Division, one point ahead of the Beaver Valley Nite Hawks, who hold three games in hand. The Rebels have eight games left on their schedule. Vecchio had two goals and two assists and was named the Rebels’ game star : Dergousoff had a three-point night to move him into a tie with Dale Bon- derud for the team scoring lead with 49 points. Cory Ross had the Rebels’ other goal while Bonderud picked up two assists. Roger Carlson, Kevin Emsley, Jeff Fletcher and Keith Semenoff ad- ded single assists. The Grand Forks Border Bruins, who are nine points up on the Rebels in third place, visit the Complex this Friday.
